Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal’s (KRSM) newly-developed charity organization, Kalkreuth Roofing Charities, held its annual Kalkreuth Amateur Golf Championship (KAGC) on the Arnold Palmer and Robert Trent Jones, Jr golf courses at Oglebay Resort’s Speidel Golf Club in Wheeling West Virginia on July 27 and 28. The KAGC is a premier tournament in the tri-state area and hosted over 200 golfers this year.
In addition to the weekend tournament, KRSM hosted its 5th Annual Kalkreuth Vendor Invitation (KVI) on Friday, July 26 as a way of saying ‘thank you’ to nearly 50 valued vendor partners who sponsored the KAGC. This event also took place on the Palmer and Jones courses and was preceded by a welcome dinner on July 25. The initial check presentation to Easter Seals took place after dinner with our two Co-Title Sponsors for the KAGC, ABC Supply and Johns Manville.
Proceeds from these golf events contribute to the annual donation to the Easter Seal Rehabilitation Center in Wheeling, West Virginia. Their work is to create solutions that change the lives of children and adults with disabilities, or other special needs, and their families. With an overwhelming amount of generosity and continued support including mulligan sales and cash donations on the day of the KVI, the total contributions increased by $4,220, and Kalkreuth Roofing Charities was able to donate a total of $31,720 for 2019. Kalkreuth Roofing Charities has donated over $120,000 to Easter Seals over the last 8 years.
“I’m beyond thankful for the continued support of everyone involved with both of these golf events,” said Chairman John Kalkreuth. “It is because of you that we are able continue this tradition while supporting our community.”
